How do you back up open files with NTBACKUP ??

[Guest BadBoy House]

We use ntbackup to back up our server each night. Normally this works

fine but since introducing a remote access solution for staff it seems

that if staff leave a server based program open on their workstations

the backup system doesn't back the files up.

 

This is beginning to get problematic as some important data is being

excluded from the backup.

 

Other than trying to make sure that staff close programs is there

anything else I can do to make sure that the data is backed up

successfully?

 

Is there a way of automatically closing programs at a certain time?

 

thanks in advance.
